Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Generic Percocet 10-325 Alvogen seems to be the best generic brand. I suffer from herniated discs in my neck. My neurologist wants to operate on them. My cardiologist and GP both agree that my heart could not withstand the operation since I have aggressive coronary artery disease, bypass, and 23 stents. My GP and pharmacist both treat me like I’m some heroin addict, living under a bridge. Very embarrassing and uncomfortable, to say the least. They give you these medications to relieve your pain and make your life more manageable. Then they tell you that you need to stop taking them. The stigma alone of a person on these medications is enough to create unnecessary shame and guilt. So, I was recommended Suboxone. Suboxone is a terrible medication. It may work for people with high addictions. No one asks to be an addict when they are children. I have nothing but empathy and sympathy for such people."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Been taking 10mg oxy/325mg acetaminophen for almost 3 years. I was unable to walk for 4 months awaiting surgery for microdisc as I could only afford what I had in savings. After relocating nerves and removal of partial disc, the pain went away. It lasted only 6 months and my back, legs, and rib cage became extremely painful again. With no help at hand, out of money, I ended up on Percocet (10mg oxy/325mg Tylenol). It works for the most part but needs a boost at times as it wears off in less than 5 hours. I am almost 100% disabled now as I am a prior Desert Storm Gulf War vet finding out recently I was also in contact with ionizing radiation. The Percocet is the only way I manage the 24-hour pain. Thanks Uncle Sam."

"I have been taking Oxycodone/acetaminophen for a long time for spine pain, bone spurs, and arthritis of the spine. I got a different pill this time from Amneal Pharm/CVS. There is absolutely no pain relief, and I will struggle to bear the pain rather than take more than the prescribed dose. I'm over 70, and I am in such severe pain. Why? These pills are clearly different than my last prescription. What can I do? Is taking them back to the pharmacy an option? The pill has IP204 on the surface. Does anyone know anything about this 'pain pill' that does nothing for pain relief? Address your response to Red, please."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have four herniated discs and was prescribed Percocet, which took the edge off. I never went above the prescribed dosage. Then the drugstore switched the generic company to Camber acetaminophen/oxycodone. I felt sick, had headaches, and vomited. I never knew you could be sold total garbage from Walgreens, so I never will go back there. Instead, I will go to mom-and-pop drug stores, Mallinkrodt, maybe spelled wrong, but they work better."

"Are they looking into acetaminophen/Oxycodone 10 because they do not work? This is a scam and they are trying to fool us. If you're really in pain, then you know this doesn’t work. They are fooling us and putting something else (or nothing) in these meds. Can someone please investigate!"

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "My pharmacy changed the Percocets to ALVAGEN brand. I had no idea because they were sent through email. I returned them through the mail. I have a lumbar fusion and a neck fusion. I suffer unbearable pain. I had to take three to straighten my legs in the morning to walk. I think they are placebos. I can't believe they actually give these to chronic pain sufferers. It's a shame when people really suffer in pain to give these to people knowing they can't fill their prescription again. I returned to my mail pharmacy. I'll suffer before you go through all the trouble. It's not worth it. I'll never take them again. Sincerely, Amanda Poore."

"I’ve been on the Actavis brand of acetaminophen/oxycodone for years now, then Walgreens changed to the Camber brand of acetaminophen/oxycodone and I can’t take it. Now they gave me Mallinckrodt! I am so sensitive to change in meds. Does anyone else feel a difference?"

"Been taking pain medication for many years. Some have helped and some not. Recently, I feel the pain meds are lacking the main ingredients that help. It is so frustrating that people who really need pain meds can’t get them without being made to feel as if they are an addict. I believe that pharmaceutical companies are cutting back on ingredients because of so many overdose cases. That has really hurt the people that really need good pain medicine. This company that my prescription was filled through, Alvogen pain med company, must have forgotten to put the main ingredient in the pills. All the pills did was give me major constipation. Little relief from my back pain. They made a lot of money for selling people false medicines. Help. Help. Help."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Percocet is indeed a wonder medicine for pain. I take up to 5 a day and still have some pain, but at least it is dulled to a point of making my life worthwhile. I am in my late 70s, and doctors have told me that back surgery at my age and my condition (Severe stenosis, herniated disc) is risky. I thought my later years would be enjoyable, but back pain has made me lose interest in all the things that I looked forward to, like travel, etc. It has placed a heavy burden on my wife to take care of me in my pain mode."

"Please report camber meds if you think they aren't working or are bad! The FDA needs more complaints to investigate. I have filed a complaint. These pills have left me very ill. These are not oxycodone, and I am not sure if they are using the correct formula when making these pills. The FDA needs to hear from you."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I WAS HURT ON MY JOB AND I HAVE HAD A BACK DISORDER FOR 15 YEARS NOW AND HAVE TAKEN JUST ABOUT EVERY CHRONIC PAIN MEDS AVAILABLE! BUT WHEN MY DOCTOR (who is one of the best pain management doctors in my area) STARTED ME ON OXYCONTIN 40mg 1 TABLET EVERY 12 HOURS IT DIDN'T WORK ALL DAY, SO HE THEN PUT ME ON PERCOCET 10/325. FOR IN BETWEEN PAIN. IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE BURNING AND STABBING FEELING, BUT IT DOES TAKE MOST OF THE PAIN AWAY FOR AT LEAST 2-3 HOURS. SO I WOULD SAY THAT I REALLY LIKE THE PERCOCET 10/325 A LOT. I HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE LIKE THIS...BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURE FOR MY BACK PROBLEM!"

"Camber T 194 white oblong pills, supposedly generic Percocet, 10 mg Oxycodone and 325 mg Acetaminophen, but I'll bet ten grand it's not. It will make you wish you'd gone to the street to get your prescription filled. For $599.00 I can have it tested and am compelled to do this as I've had numerous generic brands of Percocet in the past ten years and NEVER did they make me sick, completely useless and give me explosive diarrhea. I only took a half of a pill to see if I'd have an adverse effect as it happened once before (NOTHING like this though), and if I'd have taken a whole one, I'd be at the ER right now. Also, the T194's on the Camber website are a light green in color in their photo, but mine are white. ??? Is Camber trying to kill legitimate pain patients???"

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have been on multiple pain meds for scoliosis and a previous break. This works better than the fentanyl patches, and way better than the MsContins I was on. They don't make me feel groggy or have an upset stomach. Highly recommended."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I ended up trying these new Camber 10/325 as my usual pharmacy switched manufacturers without my knowing, and needless to say, here I am writing a review, or should I say warning? I have been on long-term pain meds for a completely disintegrating spine for 10 years now, and I have always had decent pain control by mixing OxyContin with Percocet. However, I recently experienced the craziest reaction in all of my 10 years. First, the taste of these things is very odd, almost perfume-like. I didn’t think much about it until I lost all pain control, became debilitatingly weak, had headaches, nausea, bone-racking pain, poured sweat 24/7, felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin, and basically felt like I had a bad, bad case of the flu on top of it all. THE WORST. Something is really wrong with these pills, and I submitted a complaint on FDA Medwatch. I find it very interesting that other people have been experiencing the same."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I tried every pain medication for my back pain, it did not work. When I got in pain management, he put me on Percocet 10/325, that's the best thing that ever happened. Now I get to sleep at night, play with my kids, go workout at the gym, cut my grass, and I have no pain. This was a blessing, thanks to the people who made this medicine."

"I have chronic low back pain as well as fibromyalgia! I have been taking generic Norco for over 10 years, off and on, and never had such horrible side effects in my life as I had when given the Camber brand of acetaminophen/oxycodone. I feel like I have the flu. I wake up with diarrhea, migraines, dizziness, sweats, stomach cramping, feels like my heart's racing while sitting. I’ve called the pharmacy with no help, I also called my doctor and will call my insurance as well. What is in this stuff? Poison fillers. Praying this gets fixed ASAP and they pull this rubbish off the market."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "When the cortisone shots stopped helping me, my doctor prescribed Endocet. Day one, I was able to walk, sit, stand, and lay down pain-free. I do get a little bit light-headed. I'll take that any day! Previously tried hydrocodone all the way to 10/325, and I was still in pain. This really works wonders."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Chronic neck and back pain from congenital stenosis and degenerative disc disease, which also creates bad arthritis. Started with Activis 10/325 generic Percocet, and it worked great. About 1 year later, they switched to Camber and Mallinckrodt (however it’s spelled). They are both bad. The Mallinckrodt starts strong and provides great pain relief, but only for 2-3 hours, if lucky. Found out I could request any special medication I wanted. So after I heard that, I immediately Googled who had the best generic for Percocet for about 3 hours. Found out about 75% of everyone said ENDOCET was the best. And that makes sense since Endocet is Percocet's own generic (weird they’d make their own generic). And Endocet is definitely the best I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of generics and the original, Percocet; Endocet is basically Percocet."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I'm a survivor of Crohn's for 48 years now. My Crohn's has advanced greatly, so the pain has also. I'm in pain every day of my life, even though I'm on biologics. My experience with generics, pharma companies, and pharmacies has been pure hell. Mallinckrodt is the only generic for 10/325 that actually works, but CVS doesn't use them, instead, they go the cheaper route to Rhodes. Not only is Rhodes barely effective, but they use the lowest amount of the main ingredient they are allowed, and their fillers can be quite toxic to those with sensitive systems. As a nurse, I was able to get these lists. Rhodes was up there with others the law allows them to make the 10/325 and other meds, with the barest minimum allowed and no checks on fillers used. I'm sorry as hell to see where we've evolved with pharmaceutical companies, labs that make our meds, and our government not taking note of all these issues. My dog has better pain relief."

"Approximately 4 months ago, I was switched from Camber Pharmaceuticals' generic yellow Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10/325 mg pills to white Camber Pharmaceuticals Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10/325 mg pills, and my symptoms began! I experienced feeling shaky, feeling like I can’t breathe, terrible sweating episodes, SEVERE anxiety, heart troubles, it is absolutely awful!! Immediately, after a particularly SEVERE attack this morning, I called my local pharmacy and spoke with my pharmacist and explained what was going on. He told me that, as far as he was told, “all the manufacturer did was remove the dye.” I hung up and immediately called Camber Pharmaceuticals in New Jersey. After hours and hours of waiting-nothing. Something is VERY wrong with the pills, and the FDA isn’t doing anything! I’m going to ask my local hospital to test the pills because I KNOW something is VERY wrong here! If you're going through this, please start complaining! We need help and the FDA is ignoring us!"

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Before surgery, stayed in bed (neck), took two pills when I got home, what a relief! I can at least walk around now. I would recommend this to anyone in pain. DEA, please stop making this pill so hard to get when people like myself really need them."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Work-related injury 20 years ago followed by 5 back surgeries, fusions at L4/5 & L5/S1. The spinal cord stimulator worked for a couple of months until my body formed scar tissue and pushed the electrodes out of place. From here, I went to prescription therapy, even tried CBD, but that was useless. Over time, we (my doctor and I) settled on Percocet and 10/325, 120 tablets. My pharmacy was low, so they mixed Percocet (100 tablets) with Endocet (20 tablets). I was told it was the same medication. During the month, I noticed that the Endocet was not working as well as the Percocet. (Percocet is white, Endocet is yellow). The next month, I got all Endocet because it's all the pharmacy had available. It's not that Endocet doesn't work, but it only gives me about 60% relief instead of the 85-90% that I get with Percocet."

"Been in pain management for 10 years. I’ve tried them all and can say they are all different! Please respond to Bigmike in your first words since this review doesn’t allow responses. Been loyal to Walgreens this far. The A333 brand was the BEST! I then was swapped to the T194, which was good, then yellow, then the M523 (Mallinckrodt), then switched to the T194 Camber brand. M523 has been the worst for me! I am lazy and “spaced out” only on these! Never had ill side effects like others describe but feel dumb and unproductive compared to energized and euphoric on all the others. Anyone else? I’ve had a 3-week sore throat on the Mallinckrodt M325 too. Anyone have any alternatives as I can’t continue to live like this?"

"The acetaminophen with oxycodone doesn’t seem to work like it used to. I am in pain all the time, it is like they took the painkillers out of the pill. I read that other people are having the same problem. How am I supposed to go to work in pain? I feel wronged. Not only did they cut me from 6 a day to 4 a day, I am sure they stopped putting the active ingredients in the pill."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have stage 4 ovarian cancer and chemotherapy did not work. My pain medication was increased from 5 mg to 10 mg of hydrocodone, which was not working, and life was miserable with both back and abdominal pain. My doctor switched me to 10/325 Percocet and the difference is astounding. I cannot remember the last time I went without pain for the day, and I do not care if I stay on this for the rest of my life. What a wonderful difference to my well-being!"
